Happy New Year 2018 from Tokyo: Indonesian-Japanese Friendship

I am so happy when I got the new year postcard 2018 from Satoko san in Tokyo.Hopefully 2018 gonna be a great year, good fortune, and a lot of happiness.
I hope one day Satoko san family will visit me in Indonesia or vice versa.
She and I have the same hobby, visiting underwater.

BTW I have been joined JENESYS Program Special Invitation for Selected Students. Satoko san and her family was accepted me at her house, and she attended my farewell party at Sophia University.

Among program alumnae plan to arrange a reunion in Penang, Malaysia this year. I am so excited after several years never meet my classmate, roommate, TravelMate. Insyallah.

Again, I was so lucky being there.
So, please prepare yourself to get the exchange opportunity or scholarship.

b. Dispatch of Japanese youths to other East Asian Countries; and
c. Youth interaction (e.g. youth networking and East Asia Student Conference).
The overall objective of the JENESYS Programme is to help lay the foundation for a stronger solidarity and closer friendships among EAS countries by promoting mutual understanding of the future generation of the region.
